A highlight of my week in LA for the American Psychiatric Association annual meeting was a chance to catch up with the incredible Professor Cathy Lord for lunch & a chat about all things #autism #healthcare #advocacy and more! #APA2025 linkedin.com/posts/mary-doh…

To go from thinking I would suicide in medical school and residency to presenting at The American Psychiatric Association National Conference (@apapsychiatric) in Los Angeles as a Black, queer physician with lived mental health and illness experience means everything. So happy I

I wrote this. Why new book The Age Of Diagnosis is wrong about autism: Suzanne O'Sullivan calls autism a "brain disorder". She even uses the word "illness". And her ideas are blurring into what we hear from politicians Free, as are subscriptions maybeimamazed.substack.com/p/why-new-book…

Anyone not terrified by the exponentially increasing power of AI definitely needs to read this. The survival of humanity is in the hands of 5 tech bros driven by greed & grandiosity. We are mindlessly letting them create our evolutionary replacement. newindianexpress.com/amp/story/maga…

Delighted to speak at this Royal College of Anaesthetists College Tutors meeting, and to see the supports offered to ND trainees & colleagues. Thrilled to chat to so many senior anaesthetists who are openly wondering if they might be neurodivergent. Such a huge change in a few short years 😎

Thanks John Harris. At a time when waiting lists for an autism diagnosis are up to 5 years, and when 1 in 4 autistic people plan or attempt to die by suicide, likely in part a reflection of the lack of support following a diagnosis, it's wrong to say autism is over-diagnosed

I suffered with an eating disorder through my teenage years. When I was 15, I spent over a month in hospital refusing to eat. I was on an IV drip, was a dangerously low weight, and my organs were on the brink of failing. If I had the choice to die then, I would have taken it.

I lead a team supporting thousands of autistic and neurodivergent adults across the UK. Right now, fear around the #TakingThePIP vote is already causing real harm. This isn’t just policy. It’s about dignity, survival, and human rights. UK Parliament: please back the amendment.

If the #autistic professional community is saying the traditional approach to #autism is wrong – and we are – is it time to take a fresh look at autistic phenomenology and our approach to diagnosis? linkedin.com/posts/mary-doh…

I've been told that #neurodiversity advocates don't understand or don't care about the needs of autistic people with the highest support needs, or their families. Now I know that is not true, but what groups, research projects or initiatives are out there to refute that claim?
